undefined reference to main in _start

[Gilroy Billard]

Hi,

I can't link in any version of the WINE libraries after version 20001202
without getting a linker error: undefined reference to main in function
_start.

I compile WINE with these options:
./configure --without-x --without-curses --disable-debug --disable-trace.

Any ideas???

thanks,

Winemaker generates Makefiles to compile windows source with Winelib.
   But I don't think this is what you want to do, is it?

i'm very surprised by how much wine is running for me....I do NOT know if it
was RH ( as I'm trying Debian unstable at moment ) or just me...but i'm running
things I don't recall working before &/or mabye the latest /greateste is just
better than earlier ones I'd tried.....

anyway goldisk works flawlessly so far in wine which is very nice....can't get
sonic foundryes acid music yet but oh well not critical.....I tried to install
flash 5.0....the installer 'tried' to start but bomber....plus ill check
database .....

many things worked i was pleasantly surprised......very nice!

thanks wine team this is great stuff.....

tres merci

No, it is not.

Basically, I want to use wine_main and link the WINE source libraries into
my project, for example, libmsvfw32.so, libwine.so, etc.
This is what I did in the past and it worked fairly well. However, 20001202
and greater versions of WINE also require libntdll.so. This is fine too, but
now I get an error "crt1.o undefined reference to main in _start".

Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but that sounds like a winelib
application you are working on, and that is what winemaker does best,
in my experience.  Don't be mislead by "windows source", think rather
"c-like code you have the source to that wants to make some calls to the
windows API" (it can also call any other API you care to give it the
headers and libraries for, including libc).

Winelib programs changed radically some time in December 2000 - I think
for the better - in that you can now simply import a dll in the .spec
file and the wine toolchain starting with winemaker takes care of
LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress, but they build, start and link differently
too.

I'd say give winemaker a try.  Maybe you will have to hand-hack the
Makefile a bit, but winemaker understands beter than I can explain how
to make winelib apps.

I guess you could take winedbg as an example winelib app.
